Bryce Canyon National Park is quite different from the areas Anna and I are used to visiting. If you are hiking or horseback riding, you can explore the canyon itself. If, like us, your explorations are limited to areas accessible by road, your perspective is limited to a god's-eye view.  Of course, that's pretty spectacular in its own right. Somehow, though, looking down at these monuments to the passage of wind, water and time makes them not so monumental to me.  Regardless, the views and vistas are a treat to the eye and a less than gentle reminder of just how brief a time man has trod across this fundament.
